'Fairway' Coleus

Botanical Name: solenostemon
Common Name: 'Fairway' series

Fred Richards 2009 planter comments to follow: this replacement coleus was purchased in pots from Wagner's Greenhouse and reached 10-24" tall x 14" wide; majority performed very poorly and wouldn't recommend. 'Fairway' series grown from seed. Variegated coleus to right grown from tissue cuttings at home (most of these died of planting shock). Would recommend only coleus grown from tissue culture. Great color contrast with background 'Purple Knight' alternanthera (large leaf) and 'Purple Lady' iresine (small leaf).
